Zhou Wen knew that there was a high chance that there was trouble when The Thearch said that there was trouble. However, if he kept complying with The Thearch, he wouldn't even have any room to bargain with her in the future.
Zhou Wen didn't want to be a puppet that was at the mercy of others. Furthermore, he also wanted to know if his Zero Taboo could withstand The Thearch's wish power.
As Zhou Wen was extra careful, he constantly studied the Flying Immortal Stance. He had made some improvements in the Rank 10 Dragon Gate Flying Immortal Skill and Transcendent Flying Immortal, but he hadn't broken through the final step.
Zhou Wen didn't know what a Rank 10 Epic Primordial Energy Skill would be like if he broke through. It would be best if he could break through to the Mythical stage, but it clearly wasn't that easy.
Through the battle with Torch Dragon, Zhou Wen constantly honed himself. It could be said that his posture was already very similar to the Flying Immortal Stance, but he was still lacking something. He still hadn't reached that realm.
Sometimes, inventions that shocked the world needed a flash of inspiration in addition to constant experimentation. What Zhou Wen lacked now was that spark of inspiration in the darkness.
Zhou Wen could already last more than two hours in his battle with Torch Dragon, but it was useless. Even if he lasted 99% of his efforts, everything was useless as long as he didn't kill Torch Dragon.
Zhou Wen was gaming when he suddenly received an An Sheng's call.
"Young Master Wen, there's something I have to tell you. This matter can only be decided by you." An Sheng's voice was a little serious. This was a little different from the usual An Sheng.
"What is it?" Zhou Wen knew that it was definitely not simple for An Sheng to be so serious. He recalled the trouble The Thearch had mentioned.
"John from the Cape family. Do you still remember this person?" An Sheng asked after some thought.
"I remember. He once came to our college," Zhou Wen answered.
"Yes, it's because he lost to you and had his Primordial Energy sea crippled. Therefore, he made a request to our An family to have a fair battle with you. Furthermore, he took the initiative to propose that the duel be held in Luoyang," An Sheng said.
Zhou Wen's heart skipped a beat. He knew that the trouble The Thearch was talking about was most likely John. He remembered that The Thearch had chatted with John online.
"As the other party has officially proposed a duel and is willing to come to Luoyang alone to challenge you, it's not convenient for us to reject it on your behalf. You have to decide this matter yourself. If Young Master Wen isn't willing, you can reject it," An Sheng said.
John's Primordial Energy sea should have been destroyed, right? Did he recover so quickly? "Zhou Wen asked.
"In theory, it's impossible for him to recover so quickly. However, since he dared to come to Luoyang to challenge you, not only has he recovered, but he has also developed further." An Sheng paused for a moment before saying, "From my personal point of view, I don't think there's a need for you to take the risk to accept the challenge."
"You think I'll lose?" Zhou Wen was somewhat surprised. An Sheng should know that he had the Six-Winged Guardian Dragon. Under such circumstances, it was clearly unusual for him to persuade him not to accept the challenge.
The Cape family also has Mythical dimensional creatures. On the cube's ranking, there are four Mythical pets from the Cape family. I suspect that John brought a Mythical Companion Beast with him this time. "An Sheng voiced his thoughts.
Zhou Wen didn't say a word as An Sheng continued, "Mythical Companion Beasts have their own characteristics. Before knowing what abilities the other party's Mythical Companion Beast has, it's very dangerous to rashly accept the challenge. I've seen some Mythical creatures. The abilities of those Mythical creatures are very unreasonable. As long as you are hit, you will definitely die. There's no room for negotiation. It's useless even if you are stronger than them. Just like Love Letter, we studied it for a few years and learned of its various abilities before attacking it. Otherwise, we would definitely suffer heavy losses. "
"I understand what you mean, but I want to accept this challenge," Zhou Wen said after some thought.
From Zhou Wen's point of view, this wasn't a battle between him and John, but a secret contest between him and The Thearch.
The Thearch seemed to be in the dark. Intentionally or unintentionally, she seemed to want Zhou Wen to rely on her more and more intensely.
Just like the previous few times, be it showing off her might or giving him benefits, she was intentionally or unintentionally showing Zhou Wen how powerful and invincible she was. She had inadvertently created a high and mighty image. It was as though as long as Zhou Wen followed her, he would enjoy endless benefits. And if he disobeyed her, he would suffer an irresistible blow.
Although The Thearch hadn't really harmed Zhou Wen from beginning to end, Zhou Wen could sense that this wasn't a good thing.
In the past, the former principal had once said to Zhou Wen that one should respect everyone, but one definitely couldn't let respect turn into reliance. Otherwise, one would lose the possibility of reaching the peak because the person one relied on was one's endpoint.
Therefore, Zhou Wen wanted to accept this challenge not to defeat John, but to break the net The Thearch had weaved around him and make The Thearch miscalculate once.
"Alright, since you have already decided, I know what to do. I'll help you choose the location and time. I won't let you suffer in Luoyang. No one can use their powers outside the arena to affect you, but you have to be careful. Don't underestimate John just because he lost to you," An Sheng said seriously.
"Thank you." Zhou Wen felt a warmth in his heart. An Sheng was really concerned about him. It had been a long time since he had been cared for by someone.
An Sheng hung up the phone and turned to An Tianzuo, who was sitting behind his desk. "Overseer, Young Master Wen has decided to accept the challenge."
"He's indeed too young. For John to dare come to Luoyang alone, he must be fully prepared. This battle is extremely dangerous. There's no need for him to take this risk," An Tianzuo said.
An Sheng smiled and asked, "Overseer, if it were you, would you accept or reject it?"
"If I accept it, it's because I have the strength to deal with any situation." Although An Tianzuo didn't answer directly, anyone could tell that he would accept it if it were him.
"I believe Young Master Wen can handle it as well," An Sheng said.
"I'm just afraid that he will be arrogant after obtaining a Mythical Companion Beast and think that he's invincible. When the time comes, he won't even know how he dies," An Tianzuo said with a snort.
An Sheng didn't say anything else. An Tianzuo paused for a moment before saying, "Go set up the venue. If the empress dowager finds out that he suffered, I'm afraid she'll scold me again."
"Yes." An Sheng accepted the order and left.
Not many people knew that John was going to Luoyang to challenge Zhou Wen, but it spread within the six families. The other families found it odd.
John had just had his Essence Energy sea crippled, but he had recovered so quickly. He even dared to challenge Zhou Wen in Luoyang. This was clearly unusual. Many families were secretly observing this matter.
